Runners make their way along the South College Street campus of the Evangelical Seminary in Myerstown during the inaugural Four Chaplains Scholarship Run on Saturday morning. The event, a combined four-mile run and 1.5-mile fun run and walk, is named for the four chaplains who gave up their life jackets, sacrificing their lives, to save others after their ship, the USS Dorchester, was struck by an enemy torpedo during World War II. Of the 902 servicemen aboard, only 230 survived. The run raised funds for the seminary's Four Chaplains Scholarship Fund. (Barbara West — Lebanon Daily News)
